Upon excavation, installation, and completion of drainage structures,
community sewage systems, or water supply systems.
4.
Before placing stone base course, or before initial layer of screenings.

stub ends shall be located in addition to station and length by cross
tie dimensions extending from adjacent manholes.

When the developer has completed all of the necessary and appropriate
improvements, the developer shall notify the Municipality, in writing,

[Amended 5-8-1989 by Ord. No. 5-8-89F]

The Council may require that certain subdivision and land development
improvements remain undedicated, with maintenance, reconstruction,

submit to the Municipality for review and approval by the Municipal

compliance with this subsection. No building permits shall be issued
until such documents are approved and recorded in the Allegheny County
Recorder's office.

such deferment and the requirement for future installation is placed
upon the final plat as recorded.
